Umpires not prepared for fresh start (10)
I believe the answer is:
resumption
'fresh start' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'umpires not prepared' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates an anagram.
'umpires'+'not'='umpiresnot'
'umpiresnot' is an anagram of 'RESUMPTION'.
'for' is the link.
(Another definition for resumption that I've seen is " fresh start is needed".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
